Bah! I have a horrible feeling that this is going to make it out before the show based on Ben H. Winters’ superb “The Last Policeman” trilogy - and suddenly everyone will be done with asteroids hitting the earth. The whole draw of TLP is the character of Hank Pallace rather than the cataclysmic event / breakdown of…

Ugh that King Arthur clip. Why the hell didn’t they dub Beckham’s voice with someone who doesn’t sound like a whiny vegetable stall seller in an east end market?

I was with this story right up until the bit where a Gamestop employee sold a kid underage an 18 rated game. God DAMN if that’s not the most unrealistic turn of events I’ve ever heard of. When I worked in Electronics Boutique it was a fricking PERK to deny sale to stupid little kids who came in to buy copies of “Lula…

Quite liked this episode (and the binaural version was very cool indeed as I usually watch this on catchup wearing headphones, so was a pleasant surprise).

Let’s pause for a moment and describe just how utterly beautiful the hair in this videogame is, while skipping over the immersion-breaking habit it has of clipping through the character’s clothes / armour etc (and not just in in-game bits, in cut-scenes too). I loved this game but that really did rankle, considering…

Definitely evidence of intent - intention is to provoke others either into a verbal or physical confrontation, no more and no less. It’s like the arrogant little twerps who “sod-cast” - Play music from their phones loudly over bluetooth speakers in the hope that someone will tell then to shut the hell up just so they…

Poor Daredevil looks like he’s coming off worse in that scrap!!

Notice how many times the SUV drivers in this clip (y’know, the ones who could probably just cruise over that hole) just blarted it straight into the other lane without signalling or giving a toss about the driver next to them? (Not exactly surprised to see the BMW X driver doing exactly that!) - These are the same…

Exactly this. I’ve got a little bit of faith that they can rein in Pitt’s ego a little and do a proper treatment of the book. Anything even remotely resembling the first movie can ‘do one’ though - even if they somehow bring Peter Capaldi back for a second go too

Interesting. I’ve never seen the first one (but now it’s on Netflix I ought to rectify that situation) but watching this trailer the first thing I thought of was 60s era Avengers stuff (and why the hell no one’s thought of erasing the previous attempt to modernise that, I’ll never know - even with Colin Firth as Steed…

Fave pin table? ST:TNG is indeed a classic. Weirdly, some really ‘not that great’ movies seemed to spawn amazing Pinball tables. “Last Action Hero” is incredible, even the Stallone Dredd movie had a fantastic table IIRC. Also loved the Doctor Who and comic Dredd pin tables. Fantastic to see some coverage of pinball…

I guessed there’d have to be some sort of noise from the drive mechanisms etc - but I absolutely love the idea of a totally silent bike (blame Streethawk and Knight Rider for making me think back in the 80s that all future vehicles would just have that eerie electronic whistle / hum noise instead of a beefy petrol…

Dang, I was hoping there’d be video of this thing running. I’d love to see someone dirtbiking in total silence, it’d be eerie.

This sounds like a terrible idea. Worse, this sounds like someone who has seen the success of the Marvel stuff, the success of the live action Disney movies and put two and two together. Will keep an eye out for it though, because I’m also optimistic that if someone actually sat down and looked at what was going on in…

The two biggest issues for kids are that developing kid-friendly games suffers from the same assumptions that folk who think writing books for kids is easy fall into. It’s not easy to develop content that taps into what really interests kids - but also constitutes a fun gaming experience.

Not quite as creepy as “The Time Traveller’s Wife” which, essentially, has the main guy accidentally travelling back in time, befriending his future wife as a kid, and resisting her various teenage advances (as she grows older) before eventually doinking her when she hunts him down in the future. It’s a great book but…

Same deal over here in the UK. My morning commute, virtually all of the roads are in a truly appalling state (some might as well just do away with bothering with the top layer of tarmac as there are so many pot holes, driving over a muddy farm track would be preferable!) Solar roads can’t happen fast enough - at least…

Not quite sure what Spiderman and Superman are doing in here (videogame movie by very loose association) but the core problem wrong with every bad videogame adaptation is the same - No flipping FAN SERVICE. If you’re out to make a movie out of a very popular videogame series and you can’t even get that one simple part…

Pretty sure that Watch_Dogs 2's poor sales had nothing to do with the quality of the game (best open world game I’ve played since GTA V) but a lot to do with the usual issue of releasing anything ‘good’ amidst the usual fourth quarter cluster-release of ‘too many sodding games all coming out to try and cash in on the…

THIS!! Honestly, my (now 8 yr old) daughter never did anything like that, probably because I made sure she had a ton of other cool stuff to play with other than our stuff. Also - huge piece of plastic glass in front of TV cabinet with consoles, DVD player etc in makes ALL the difference and would only cost you a…
